IDK, the line seems fairly clear. Asking someone to upgrade an existing product for security makes sense. Similarly, asking to switch to two factor isn't a bad idea at all, even if there are secondary motives.
Asking someone to come over from a competitor's current product doesn't sound like an actual security intent.
- gkbrk 3y agoCan Google really complain? For years they bundled Chrome installers that set the browser as default with other random software. And every time you visited Google with Internet Explorer or Firefox, they told you to "upgrade" to Chrome.
- _ea1k 3y agoYes. Making deals to distribute their software is a well accepted practice and Chrome is far from the worst thing to come preinstalled. Advertising your wares on your own website is even more reasonable than that. Observing when a competing browser is used to visit a competing site and then having the desktop OS open a popup crosses a very different line.
